Hi Nigel,

Yes, I think you all understand correctly.

What size boat need to you?

 

Best Regards!

Hi everyone!

Many thanks for your LIKES and your interest to this project!

 

A small update here. Today I present another deck element - the steam winch ))

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Best Regards!

Hi Igor

 

Okay, okay, okay.  This time I really don't know what to say!  

 

Can I please ask what you used as the round cogs at the ends of the winch?  Were they watch mechanism parts?

 

Cheers

Hi Igor,

 

Thanks for the confirmation!

 

Ships boat will have a length of 5.5cm with a max beam of perhaps 1.5 cm. Still working on the design, but pretty big by your standards!

 

Steam winch you just made looks awesome!

 

Cheers,

 

Nigel.

Hi Patrick,

I have used the 3 parts from the set of the photoetched detailes - base, which I cut into 2 parts and 2 wheels.

I will make the photo of this kit evening.

 

Best Regards!

Thanks Nigel!

5,5 cm?!?! WOW!!! This boat is very big! ))

I think the boat of this size can be made in the traditional way.

I've done several boats from kits. The smallest was 75 mm.

 

 

Please, look at this link - https://www.shipmodeling.ru/tips/lifeboat

Perhaps it will be useful to you also.

 

Best Regards!

That's a clear show of building a small boat Igor. Yours? If so well done, else for the other person my compliments

[UpstateNY]

Hi Igor,

 

Wow..those boats are all great! Wonderful work.

 

My boat is certainly large by your standards, but as I've never made something like this before, large is probably a good place to start!

 

Thank you very much for the link showing your other method.  I am wondering if I can actually carve a decent base to frame the boat around. Your other method looks easier for me to try for a first build as I can build it up from flat sections. Appreciate all the help!

 

Cheers,

 

Nigel.

Don't really know what to say, so I'll just pull a chair and will watch in silence. Looking forward to next update Igor, your work is truly amazing!

Hi Patrick,

Here are 2 sets of photoetched detailes -

Hi Carl,

I made these 4 boats shown on the photo from the kits with laser-cutted parts. I was wondering just to try to do it.

 

The method shown in the link is also very pleasant to me. It seems to me it's quite simple, but effective. It is not my method, I found it on the internet a long time ago.

 

The method that I used for building these 2 lifeboats for LENA, I use quite often in my SIBs. Using this method I was able to build the really very small boats -

Thank you Tom,

I think that to make all this is not as difficult as it seems ))

 

Yesterday I have done some inconspicuous works, so I have the quite a little to show.

 

 

 

Best Regards!

Igor.

Next small update today

Hi Igor

 

Really nice!  How'd you do the chain?

 

Cheers

 

Patrick

[IgorSky]

Thank you Patrick!

The chain is photoetched too.

[Mirabell61]

[IgorSky]

Thank you Nils!

[mikegerber]

Hi Igor

 

... simply terrific!!!

 

Mike

[IgorSky]

Thank you Mike!

[Major]

Igor, I don't have any idea how you can make such great work on such small areas/detail etc. "You mad bro!!" Great pleasure to watch your progress.

Awesome skills you have!

[IgorSky]

Thank you Tom!

I think you just need to start do your model and all will become clear in the process of work.

And of course we are ready to help you.

 

Best Regards!

Igor.

 

P.S. Maybe I am forced to do the little boats because I'm not very good doing big it ))

Hi Igor,

 

I have a hard time believing this...

 

I only see SIB's in your signature, but if you ever decided to do a larger build, I expect the build and its detail level would be stunning!

 

Cheers,

 

Nigel.

Thank you Nigel!

I have made several the kits of ship models a few years ago. But they were the ordinary models from the box ))

Hi everyone!

Thank you all for your support and interest in this project.

 

Yesterday I have started to make handrails.

 

 

 

Best Regards!

Igor.

[cog]

You added some thicker strips of wood to the foto etched hadrails or is it brass?

[captainbob]

I like the way tou made the stanchions thicker.  I'll have to remember that one.

 

Bob

[IgorSky]

Hi Carl and Bob!

Yes, I have added the wooden stanchions which were made from the plank about 0,35x0,35 mm.

 

Earlier I have made of brass wire stanchions 0.3 mm for Atlantis

 

 

 

But in this project I want to try to make a wooden gunwale on the stanchions.

[captainbob]

How many times am I allowed to say, "Wow"?  Without the tweezers in the picture I see a 1:29 scale model not a 1:129 scale.

 

Bob.

[IgorSky]

Hi Bob,

In this photo the scale is 1:600. The height of the stanchions is less than 1 mm ))

[captainbob]

That's even better, but the log heading says 1:290.  Is that wrong?
